He looks pretty old, at least 50+, is an author, and actually owns "strategypage"..
His views maybe incorrect and/or biased, agreed, I haven't looked into that yet..and probably won't..
Crob, Hyper, anyone else? I think it's one of your turns to bash this zombie-myth's head in now.
But then again, some people simply prefer vague conspiracy-theories rather then the obvious and rather well-documented J-7 -> Super-7 -> JF-17.

Stealthspy hasn't just been posting this thread on this ATS but also at key forum publishing and was active on chinadefense before he was banned for spamming.
His very ambitious and doesn't just spend his time here but spreads his BS other places as well.
Heres what the moderator had to say to him in one of his FC-1 bashing threads.

Banned ... that must be you ; I post freely on all on both CDF and AFM forums. I just posted on CDF and Key Pub forums right now !!
Its you who's apparently spamming haere on ATS by bringing up irrelavent, things no way related to the topic at hand.
I suppose, that such flame bait remarks are all that you are capable of saying.
Oh... brother, that thread is on the Mig project -33 if you did'nt notice. And please to take note that the same crobato and Hyper that the very person has requested to reply have replied only confirming what i had stated.
Who me? Me not qualified to answer that
And infact if you bother to check my first post on this thread, it includes a quote from the article written by crobato himself (chinese aviation expert).
etc. I infact stopped replying to this thread to avert a flame war after the replies by chinawhite became increasingly hostile and leaned towards flaming.
I appeal to one and all to stop giving links to other forums and quoting people out of context to initate a flame war and using this as an excuse to divert constructive discussion from the central topic.

I thought you got banned after all that spam you poasted at CDF. because you wont active anymore.
You stopped replying because you have nothing to reply with. putting articles written by journalist that are using already second hand material is nothing creditable

After years of denial, a Russian defense official conceded that China had produced its own "fake" version of the Su-27SK fighter jet in violation of intellectual property agreements.
n 1995, China secured a production license to build 200 Su-27SKs, dubbed J-11A, for $2.5 billion for the Shenyang Aircraft Corp. The deal required the aircraft to be outfitted with Russian avionics, radars and engines. Russia cancelled the arrangement at 95 aircraft in 2006 after it discovered that China was developing an indigenous version, J-11B, with Chinese avionics and systems.
China produced six J-11B fighters for testing, but despite efforts to produce a suitable replacement for the Russian engine, the new fighter was outfitted with the same AL-31F, said Andrei Chang, a China military specialist at the Kanwa Defense Center. One J-11A was outfitted with the indigenously-built WS10A Tai Hang turbofan engine, but the J-11Bs are still using Russian AL-31Fs due to technical difficulties, Chang said.
Pogosyan and Russian Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov traveled to Beijing in December to attend the 13th session of a Chinese-Russian joint commission on military and technical cooperation and apply pressure to Chinese officials. Ultimately, China agreed to protect intellectual property rights and stop illegally copying Russian military equipment.
"I think this was a big step to make this issue more transparent and more precise in our future discussions," said Pogosyan, who also serves as the general director of Sukhoi.
Russia fears that China would mass-produce cheaper export versions of the Su-27 for the international market, and China feared that Russia would cancel future orders for advanced arms, such as the Su-33 combat jet for China's aircraft carrier program, Chang said. Chinese violations of the end-user agreement would be particularly upsetting to Russia's long-time strategic partner India, if Pakistan buys the Chinese-built Su-27 version.
However, Pogosyan downplayed the quality of the Chinese effort, saying a copy of a copy would not be a good aircraft.
"If we speak about the copy of the airplanes, I think that in this case, the original will always be better than a slightly modified copy," he said. "The original made by the designer who developed the product is always better, and it is a better start for a new program with the original designer and developer than making a fake copy."
He said buying copies makes it difficult to overcome problems occurring during the lifetime of the aircraft, while the original developer knows from experience how to deal with these issues.
[m]Chang does not believe China will honor the intellectual property agreement, or any agreement with Russia, and will continue to develop the J-11B as a totally indigenous aircraft. However, China will move cautiously until it secures deals for the Su-33 carrier-based fighter. China is beginning to build its first aircraft carrier and needs Russian technology and experience, Chang said.
